I didn't know Ed Sheeran was a coder

[@Crygd-utre1]

I thought Nim Lang was using snake_case, but it turns out camelCase

[@trustmeimdolphin2005]

Ugh...This is not the way to introduce something you would like people to be interested in.

[@d0m96]

How would you prefer to be introduced to something? :)

That Qt logo is misleading, you can't interface with Qt as far as I know yet. And jQuery? Really?

Why the chairs is empty ?

[@JonnyMcCullagh]

Because in Ireland we always sit at the back 😉

Hello. Do you make autoparallelizm like rose complier?
Do you make modern c++ compitable?

[@d0m96]

Nim doesn't do autoparallelisation. Not sure what you mean by your second question.

[@raymondhill7837]

It's sad that even though Nim can compile to C++, it has no decent Qt library binding. Furthermore, manual memory management has little to no tutorial in the Nim tutorials. I love Nim though.

[@lalala-fn2ve]

I don't like Nim but if you don't like the current status of Nim then stop complaining and help Nim, you said you love Nim but i think your love for Nim is too small.

[@vfclists]

I don't think Qt was designed for any C language to bind sanely to it. It is really down to Qt developers to right a clean C interface for it, not for designers of other languages to create hacks to bind to it.

[@alaindevos4027]

ruby has very nice qt bindings. But if the nim people say, binding is a difficult effort i believe them.
I'll try Nim's gintro (gtk3)

@@alaindevos4027 Hi, did you managed to work with nim and gtk3 ?
